Improving people's health security level is an important symbol of building a well-off society in an all-round way. To build a well-off society in an all-round way, we must first keep healthy. People's health is not healthy, even if the material wealth is rich, it can't be regarded as a well-off society. With the increase of life expectancy and chronic diseases, how to use limited resources to improve the quality of life and minimize the social burden is a major challenge we are facing in the new era. According to a research report of the World Health Organization, one third of human diseases can be avoided through preventive health care, one third can be effectively controlled through early detection, and one third can improve the treatment effect through effective communication of information. Therefore, our maintenance of health is not only the treatment of diseases, but also the "prevention" before diseases come.
Health management is a personalized health affairs management service based on personal health records. Based on modern biomedical and information management technology models, it provides comprehensive health protection services for everyone from social, psychological and biological perspectives. It helps and guides people to master and maintain their health successfully and effectively. However, the traditional medical professionals can no longer meet the growing demand for health care services. Therefore, it is necessary for health managers to become an independent profession.
As a discipline and industry, health management occurred in the last twenty or thirty years. It was first popular in Europe and America, and gradually formed an independent industry. The rise of this industry is due to the needs of the market, especially the extension of people's life expectancy and the increase of various chronic diseases, and the resulting medical expenses continue to rise sharply. The need to control medical expenses and ensure personal health benefits has strongly promoted the development of health management.
Health management has just started in China, and it is a sunrise industry. At present, there are only a few professional health management institutions in Chinese mainland, most of which are affiliated departments of hospitals and physical examination centers. There is no accurate data on the number of health management employees. It is estimated that there are more than 654.38+million people in China, and only two-tenths of the total number of people enjoy health management services from scientific specialties, which is far from the fact that 70% of the residents in the United States can receive perfect services from health management companies or enterprises.
With the acceleration of population aging, the extension of life expectancy and the rise of chronic diseases, people's demand for health maintenance and improvement will increase day by day. The traditional medical service model can no longer meet the needs of development. The emerging health management industry will have a very broad development prospect. Establishing a professional health management team is of great significance for improving and improving the physical quality of Chinese citizens and building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Male nutritionist
Professionals engaged in nutrition guidance, dissemination of nutrition and food safety knowledge, and promotion of public health.
Mainly engaged in the work includes:
(1) Evaluate, manage and guide the nutritional status of human body;
(2) Assessment, management and guidance of dietary nutrition;
(3) Nutritional evaluation of food and formula;
(4) Consultation and education of nutrition knowledge.
Career profile:
The national nutrition and health status is an important indicator reflecting the economic and social development, health care level and population quality of a country or region. Good nutrition and health are the foundation and goal of social and economic development.
With the sustained and rapid development of China's national economy, the dietary nutrition status of urban and rural residents in China has improved significantly in the past decade, but at the same time, China is also facing the dual challenges of nutritional deficiency and unbalanced nutritional structure. Diseases closely related to dietary nutrition, such as hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease, are increasingly threatening people's health. Therefore, it is a very urgent task to vigorously carry out nutrition work and guide Chinese residents to participate in and improve nutritional diet collocation in combination with the specific situation of food resources in China.
The work of a dietitian is very important. They promote people's health by scientifically and reasonably distributing people's diet, reduce the occurrence of various chronic diseases, and improve the nutritional awareness of the whole people by popularizing nutritional knowledge to the whole society, so as to achieve the purpose of enhancing the physical fitness of the whole people.
In the United States, the treatment of hospitalized patients must be attended by nutritionists. In Japan, there is one nutritionist for every 300 people, and the number of nutritionists is 2.4 times that of clinicians. According to the ratio of Japanese nutritionists to the national population, that is, every 300 people are equipped with/kloc-0 nutritionists, there is a shortage of 4 million nutritionists in China. At present, there are less than 4000 nutritionists in China, and there is no special nutrition major in colleges and universities. The training of professionals related to this profession can't meet the needs of society at all. Compared with developed countries, China is very short of nutrition professionals.
Therefore, the newly developed public nutritionists are mature in response to social needs. The official establishment of this profession by the state will play a positive role in standardizing the professional behavior of this profession, improving the professional ability of practitioners and building a team of nutrition professionals in China.
Carrying out the corresponding public nutrition improvement work is a systematic project to improve the national health quality and enhance the comprehensive national strength. The nutrition industry closely related to nutrition improvement is also a sunrise industry full of vitality and development potential. On the premise of developing nutrition industry, the main contents of nutrition improvement work are: nutrition improvement work for three key groups, such as children, women, infants and the elderly; Nutrition poverty alleviation and nutrition poverty alleviation work for people and minimum living security personnel in poverty-stricken areas; Nutrition improvement of people with obesity, hypertension, diabetes and other "rich diseases" in cities and economically developed areas; Carry out nutrition education among students; Engaged in research, consultation and publicity on the relationship between public nutrition, population quality and social and economic development; Communication and coordination among nutrition-related departments, units and enterprises; Under the guidance of nutrition science, we will open up new areas for the development of food industry and vigorously promote the development of food and other nutrition industries.
At present, China's industrial structure, consumption structure, residents' diet structure and disease mode are all in transition. Under the strong leadership of the Party and the government, adopting correct principles and policies, cooperating with all departments, fully mobilizing and relying on the positive forces of all sectors of society, and through unremitting efforts, we will certainly achieve fruitful results in obviously improving the nutritional and health status of the whole nation.
There is a shortage of nutrition professionals in China, and the employment prospects of public dietitians are very broad. Public dietitians can provide nutritional advice and guidance for healthy and sub-healthy people. Public nutritionists can not only play an important role in the community, but also provide education, consultation and guidance services for employees, white-collar workers, senior managers, athletes and families.
